It is in this journal that she finds out he had truly loved her and she begins to accept his death. Sadly enough the true world was when they were happy and in love, and it was lost when Michael had given up. Janet Fitch is most famously known as the author of the Oprah's Book Club novel White Oleander, which became a film in She is a graduate of Reed College, located in Portland, Oregon. Janet Fitch was born in Los Angeles, a third-generation native, and grew up in a family of voracious readers.

As an undergraduate at Reed College, Fitch had decided to become an historian, attracted to its powerful narratives, the scope of events, the colossal personalities, and the potency and breadth of its themes. But when she won a student exchange to Keele University in England, where her passion for Russian history led her, she awoke in the middle of the night on her twenty-first birthday with the revelation she wanted to write fiction.

Her third novel, Paint It Black, named after the Rolling Stones song of the same name, was published in September, Although it's an eighties punk rock novel, the title resonated with certain kind of grief, not the 'she walks the hills in a long white veil' type, not picturesque, but a black, destructive, furious grief. Because he would dominate the story if he were alive. It would be his story, and I'm much more interested in the people left holding the bag, than in glorifying the people who make these grand dramatic gestures. Most of us are the ones left behind, who have to clean up after some else's decision.

How to keep living, that's what I'm interested in. Josie often spoke as Michael would have and reminisced about the two of them together. This gave the readers a sense of him truly to have been there. Paint It Black was always a three character drama--really, a love triangle. Michael is very much alive for both Josie and his mother. The fact that he's dead hardly matters.

Paint It Black is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. Jointly credited to the songwriting partnership of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, it was first. I see a red door and I want it painted black. No colours anymore, I want them to turn black. I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.

Someone can be dead for years and still be a major factor in your life. Because when you're in a terrible depression, you can't remember what love felt like, you can't remember what happiness felt like.

You know you felt it, but it seems very abstract and far away, as if it happened to someone else. Josie is known to have a firecracker personality, and anything that upsets her triggers her into action.

When Josie did nothing to try and get her things back, I felt such a loss. Why is it that you chose to let Josie do nothing about Meredith invading her privacy and robbing her blind? I don't think Josie does nothing.

Paint It Black Songtext

I think creepy crawling Meredith's house, climbing the stairs, going into her room and entertaining murderous thoughts while standing next to her bed watching her sleep, creeped her out. It showed her something about herself that she didn't want to know about herself. That she was not so different from Meredith. So, emotionally, it was enough for Josie to show her she was there.

She didn't need the actual stuff. She needed her power back. It wasn't ever about the stuff. It was the trespass, the "rape. When Josie was learning more about Michael and his past, it was implied that Meredith might have sexually abused him.

Is there a possibility that Michael was creating a new persona with Josie because had had suffered from a tragic event? We all create personae for people we're romantically involved with, we only want to show them our best self, a romanticised self, in Michael's case with Josie, especially, he wanted to simplify himself for her, and he was ashamed at his love for his mother, his unhealthy ties to her.

I don't think she actually out and out abused him, but using a child in that "little boyfriend" way is psychosexual abuse of a subtle, and frankly, pervasive kind. I think it became overt for a moment in St. Tropez, and this frightened Michael enough to send him to his father, to send him into a conventional school.

The fact that in some ways he wanted this. Was Josie suffering from post traumatic stress disorder? She was looking for other ways to be, another self to inhabit.

A woman who might not have 'killed' Michael, or might not care as much as Josie did. Josie had left the movie set where she played the role of Elena. If she had continued to play this role and have finished the film, would she have turned into Elena? Is this what the idea was progressing to, or your intent?
